Hollis Esposito "At Nike, Revolt Led by Women Leads to Exodus of Male Executives


Multiple sexual harassment reports are taking place at Nike and the human resources are doing little to nothing about it. The Nike’s Beaverton, Ore. headquarters started a small revolt in order to make the issue more publicly known. They began with a survey of the female workers in order to see if they have experienced of sexual harassment and gender discrimination. Once done with the surveys, the results were appalling. The completed surveys ended up at the desk of Mark Parker, the Nike’s chief executive. Many of the big businessmen quit their jobs and resigned from their positions after the data. The internal pressure from employees makes a difference even in large business corporations. Nike is now making sure human resources operations are doing their jobs correctly and is making management training mandatory. Many of the women that stood up to Nike did not go to complain, they went in order to make the workplace better.
